I know what they claim, but if they aren't willing to facilitate the change of one minor mysql permission so we can upload a database dump and they won't assist in the migration I might consider doing the same. Regardless I will create another dump within their restrictions and import it via SSH because I don't want to leave you stranded.

Acrodox:
well you cant blame your host, you should have a backup.

Colin:
Not sure what you mean by that. The OP does have a backup. I don't think you understand fully what is going on.

Acrodox:
I mean saved on her computer

Colin:
Yes, the OP has multiple backups on the computer and can still generate one from the original source...
